title: Formation of low density hydrous iron oxide via conformal transformation of MIL-53(Fe).
abstract: Hydrous iron oxide materials with a predefined shape, photo-electrochemical activity, low density (estimated to be 0.32 g cm(-3)), and high fractal porosity (BET ca. 117 m(2) g(-1)) are formed via internal hydrolytic transformation of the crystalline metal-organic framework MIL-53(Fe) in dilute aqueous hydroxide.
